Taking care of ourselves, one another, and our communities​

Severe weather events can feel really scary. EC STEM Lab's home base is in East Tennessee which experienced catastrophic damage from Hurricane Helene in 2024. We have found comfort in the amount of resources available to help with emotional processing of severe weather events and resources that help adults and children understand the science of severe weather.

We have compiled these resources on this page to use for any severe weather event! There are resources for preparation, emotional processing, understanding the science of severe storms, and navigating relief efforts.

Social Support & Volunteering​

It is important to encourage students to support the community at these hard times. They can share their toys with other kids who might have lost theirs or write a nice note to someone who feels sad. Every little bit of kindness helps, and when we all work together, things start to get better.
